Introduces four of the most influential economists you'll never read in a modern economics class - Marx, Veblen, Keynes, and Galbraith.

Book summary

Few economics programs today offer students the opportunity to study the history of economic thought or the philosophical foundations of diverse schools of economics. Introduction to Political Economy reintroduces these ideas into the curriculum by presenting the work of the most influential economists of modern times - Smith, Marx, Veblen, Keynes, and Galbraith. Introduction to Political Economy covers these thinkers' central ideas, including their writings on social class, the role of government in taming capitalist economies, and the misleading assumptions abour human bahavior in mainstream models. It also includes chapters on monopoly capitalism, the Swedish "middle way" between capitalism and socialism, and the Mondragón Corporation in Spain's Basque Country. The book also includes pieces on the economic thought of Hyman Minsky, bahavioral economics, fiscal austerity, the global surplus workforce, and more.

Le début de notre XXIe siècle se caractérise par trois crises angoissantes pour qui les regarde bien en face: la crise des inégalités, les crises écologiques et la crise démocratique. Si nous entendons y remédier, il nous faut en prendre la mesure. La passion de la croissance nous en empêche.

This book highlights the political economy of wealth and income inequality in Latin America. The author segments his analysis to separately evaluate the economic, social, and political costs of inequality building on country case studies. It draws well-contextualized lessons from the Latin American experience that is important to consider for other regional contexts, especially for social policies of nations within the 'Middle Income Trap'.
